Kitty-Wiki ? Just to repeat -- to a big chunk of the world the name "TiddlyWiki" sounds a lot like the maligned game "Tiddly Winks". To people hearing it that way, you might have as well called it "TiddlyWeakling". It definitely lacks gravitas.
Word association is a powerful effect. People have lost their jobs because they used perfectly benign words that happened to phonetically resemble pejorative terms. Even if more people associated "Tiddler" with "Fish", would that be a good thing? "FishyWiki" ? For that matter, though a tiddler may be a fish, what exactly is a "Tiddly" ? -- Mark On Tuesday, August 14, 2018 at 2:19:50 AM UTC-7, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Mark S. wrote: >> >> Better to change the TiddlyWiki name entirely to something that will get >> more traction, if that's the goal. >> > > Right.
